Depending on the preference of the wearer, the arch support 12 and/or the metatarsal support 14 may be replaced with other similar arch supports and/or metatarsal supports which provide different amounts of support to accommodate the comfort and performance desired by the wearer as shown in FIG. 30 11. The orthotic foot device 10 may accommodate the desired comfort, protection, 5 WO 2009/029546 PCT/US2008/074116 and support of the foot when inserted in footwear such as a shoe 15 as shown in FIG. 12. The chassis 16 is elongated and may include a main structural layer 18 that extends substantially the full length and breadth of the foot, a heel layer 21 5 permanently attached to the bottom of the main structural layer 18, a cushioned layer 23 permanently attached to the top of the main structural layer 18, and a fabric layer 25 permanently attached to the top of the cushioned layer 23. The main structural layer 18 may include a cupped heel portion 27, a middle narrowed attachment portion 29, and an enlarged rounded toe portion 32. The main structural 10 layer 18 may be at least partial composed of a flexible material, such as EVA or polyurethane. The recessed or cupped heel portion 27 of the main structural layer 18 may be shaped or configured to receive the heel of the foot and partially wrapping around the side of the heel for support and protection of the heel. 15 The middle attachment portion 29 may be shaped to partially wrap around the side of the foot adjacent the arch of the foot and is recessed. The portion 29 includes an arch attachment region 34 adapted for removably receiving and attaching to the arch support 12, and a metatarsal attachment region 36 adapted for removably receiving and attaching the metatarsal support 14. The attachment 20 regions 34 and 36 may include a plurality of loops 38 and 39, such as Velcro, or other removable connecting feature to interlock with a corresponding feature such as hooks on the supports 12 and 14, respectively. The toe portion 32 may include a flexible, resilient area 41 to provide cushioning support to the toes and pad of the foot. The resilient area 41 may 25 include a textured or roughened design to reduce slippage of the orthotic foot device 10 when placed in a shoe. The heel layer 21 may include a hard plastic heel member 43 that may be shaped to correspond to the shape of the cupped heel portion 27 of the main structural layer 18 and a hard plastic extending leg 45 that extends along one side of 6 WO 2009/029546 PCT/US2008/074116 the main structural layer 18 into the middle attachment portion 29. One side of the extend leg may be shaped in a complementary manner to edges of the support components 12, 14. The heel member 43 may protect the heel and lower portions of the side of the heel, while the extending leg 45 may protect the fifth metatarsal. 5 The heel member 43 may also include an opening 47 in which a cushioned pad 49 may be inserted and permanently attached to the bottom of heel portion 27 of the main structural layer 18 to cushion the impact on the heel of the foot of the wearer. The cushioned pad 49 may be composed of a flexible resilient material such as a urethane gel or other suitable material to cushion. 10 The cushioned layer 23 may be permanently attached to the top or opposite side of the main structural layer 18 as is attached the heel layer 21. The cushioned layer 23 may be shaped substantially the same as the main structural layer 18, except that the cushioned layer 23 may not cover the areas of the main structural layer 18 that partially wrap upwardly around the side of the foot. The cushioned 15 layer 23 may include a plurality of holes 52 to prevent the introduction of air bubbles into the orthotic foot device 10 during the fastening of the fabric layer 25 to the cushioned layer 23 by suitable means such as the application of a suitable adhesive material. The cushioned layer 23 may be composed of a conforming flexible resilient material having a slow rebound characteristic, such as a urethane foam 20 material sold under the registered trademark Poron@ by Rogers Corporation or Rogers, CT, or similar material, to provide added comfort and protection of the foot, and to reduce the sharpness in the edges of the support components 12, 14. The cushioned layer 23 may conform closely to the shape of the foot to fill in spaces or gaps, such as at the arch and around the toes, and to keep the entire foot in contact 25 with the orthotic foot device 10. Poron is a performance urethane material which provides excellent shock absorption when walking, running, or performing other activities to help prevent foot fatigue. The material of the cushioned layer 23 compresses and conforms to the contours of the foot when weight is put on the foot, but immediately retains its original shape once the weight is removed. The 30 thickness of the cushioned layer may be between the range of about 0.5 mm and about 10 mm. More preferably, the thickness may be about 3 mm. The wearer of 7 WO 2009/029546 PCT/US2008/074116 the orthotic foot device 10 would select a chassis 16 that includes a cushioned layer 23 having their desired thickness as a matter of personal preference and comfort. The fabric layer 25 of the chassis 16 may completely cover the cushioned layer 23 and the upwardly wrapping portions of the main structural layer 18. The 5 fabric layer 25 may be composed of a thin natural or synthetic material, such as nylon or polyester, which absorbs moisture from the foot and helps to prevent the foot from sticking to the orthotic foot device 10. The fabric layer 25 may be treated with an antimicrobial agent to avoid foot odor/smelly shoes. Referring now to FIGS. 13 through 20, a plurality of arch supports are shown 10 that provide different amounts of arch support; a light arch support 61, a medium arch support 63, and a firm arch support 65. Each arch support may include a dished piece 66 made of a flexible material, such as EVA, urethane, or gel, and a fastener such as a plurality of hooks 67, such as Velcro, or other removable connecting feature on one side of the arch support for interlocking with the loops 38 15 of the attachment region 34 (FIG. 3). The thickness of the arch support may determine the amount of support and flexibility provided by the arch support. The light arch support 61 may include the thinnest dished shape or configuration having a C-shaped ridge 62 providing the lowest level of arch support and the most flexibility. The medium arch support 63 may include an intermediate thickness, 20 which is dished shaped, having a C-shaped ridge 64 providing an intermediate level of arch support and less flexibility than the light arch support 61. The firm arch support 65 may include the thickest dished shape, having a C-shaped ridge 68 providing the greatest level of arch support and the least flexibility. Referring now to FIGS. 21-27, a pair of metatarsal supports is shown that 25 provide two different amounts of metatarsal support for the wearer. A light metatarsal support 72 and a medium metatarsal support 74 may be provided, but it should be understood that a different number may also be provided. Each metatarsal support may include a tear drop shaped piece 75 made of a flexible material, such as EVA, urethane, or gel, and a plurality of hooks 76 (FIG. 22), such 30 as Velcro, or other removable connecting feature on one side of the metatarsal 8 WO 2009/029546 PCT/US2008/074116 support for interlocking with the loops 39 of the attachment region 36 (FIG. 3). One portion of the tear drop shaped support may include a complementary shape to a portion of the arch support to allow metatarsal support and the arch support to be attached directly adjacent to one another. The thickness of the metatarsal support 5 may determine the amount of support and flexibility provided by the metatarsal support. The light metatarsal support 72 may include the thinnest irregularly shaped piece providing the lowest level of metatarsal support and the most flexibility. The metatarsal support 74 may include a thicker dished piece providing a greater level of metatarsal support and less flexibility than the light metatarsal support 72. 10 A method of making the removable orthotic foot device may include the following steps. First, the insole chassis may be made, by creating a main structural layer, as described previously, that extends from the heel to the toe of a shoe using a suitable material. Next, the hard plastic heel portion having an opening may be fixedly attached to the cupped portion on the bottom of the main structural layer by a 15 suitable fastener such as by applying a suitable adhesive. The cushioned pad may then be permanently attached within the opening of the heel portion to the main structural layer, also by a suitable fastener such as an adhesive. Next, the material having loops, such as Velcro, or other removable connecting features may be attached to the attachment regions for the support 20 components on the bottom of the main structural layer. The cushioned layer made of the conforming slow rebound resilient flexible material and substantially the same size as the main structural layer may then be attached or formed on the top of the main structural layer. The fabric layer may then be attached to the top of the cushioned layer and the upwardly extending portions of the main structural layer by 25 a fastener such as a suitable adhesive. Lastly, the plurality of support components having different levels of support may be made using a suitable flexible material and including a portion of material having hooks, such as Velcro, or other complementary removable fastening feature attached to the underside of each support component for interlocking with the material having loops attached to the insole chassis. The 30 support components may be made by a suitable process such as injection molding or other process. 9 WO 2009/029546 PCT/US2008/074116 The size of the insole chassis and the support components may vary due to the size and type of the shoe they are to be utilized within. Words such as "about," "approximately" or other such words as used herein shall be defined to mean a tolerance of plus or minus 20 percent. 5 While particular embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed, it is to be understood that various different modifications are possible and are contemplated within the true spirit and scope of the appended claims. There is no intention, therefore, of limitations to the exact abstract or disclosure herein presented. 10
